Hey AaronR - I liked your clean-up of this page, except for one thing: why replace the semi-colon as super-comma stuff near the top of the article? I think it's a little more clear that way, as long as you know that semi-colons can be used that way (in place of a comma for lists of lists). =) --[[User:Voidious|Voidious]] 01:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC) | Hey AaronR - I liked your clean-up of this page, except for one thing: why replace the semi-colon as super-comma stuff near the top of the article?

I feel weird about not crediting Albert for the text on this page. I like removing sigs from topic pages, in general, but should we maybe add a "Credits" Subheading to pages like this to recognize the original / primary author? --Voidious 00:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- It is a wiki... the point is to have no designated author. It is probably best to just credit original authors on the discussion pages when moving the old articles. The exception would be archived articles that are no longer active, which should be kept in their original form. That NanoLinearTargeting page, for example, was still active and useful, so it had to be wikified. I'll put a credit to Kev on the discussion page for Linear Targeting. -- AaronR 00:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I tend to agree with you, but the fact that we did have the credits there for so long makes is what makes me think twice. Putting a credit note on the Talk pages seems cool with me; I definitely think the pages look cleaner without sigs cluttering it up. --Voidious 01:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
